Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of a single-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention for pregnant women with first pregnancies who report fear of childbirth. The mixed-methods design included qualitative feedback and pre/post-intervention measures of fear, anxiety, and wellbeing among participants recruited through the UK National Health Service. Results indicated reductions in fear of childbirth and anxiety alongside positive participant feedback, suggesting the intervention is potentially feasible and acceptable for further investigation.
